Some of you might've not known, but ROBLOX has an API that allows you to see the owners of a given limited item. However, they do not allow you to see owners if they are terminated. I'll show you what I mean:
Sparkle Time Fedora first owner result[not deleted]:
"owner":{"userId":156,"username":"builderman","buildersClubMembershipType":3}
Sparkle Time Fedora different owner result[deleted]:
"owner":null
You might ask why they do this, as there shouldn't be any harm in knowing the owners of an item even if they're deleted. Well, the reason they do this, is that they take items off deleted accounts. No, they don't do it for themselves, but when a user's account is compromised and they lose their items, roblox might give them a restoration of items from a deleted account(because they are just sitting their rotting). ROBLOX doesn't want us to know when items are taken off of deleted accounts. However, there is no reasoning behind it, as there is no harm.
My suggestion: allow us to see the owners of deleted items, sites such as ######### are very useful in finding owners and are interesting to see. But it's weird to see a bunch of numbers missing.
